Cable connector handling tool

摘要

A tweezers type cable connector handling tool features two levers in guiding interaction via respective guiding faces to increase angular lever stiffness. The handling tool features also a central cable receiving channel to hold the extending cable of a connector clamped at the gripping end of the tool and to keep the cable bend radius from being bent more than standards provide for. The connector may be permanently clamped via a ratchet closure, a latching pin lock or a lever rotation joint lock such that the clamped connector may be conveniently handled via the handling tool without need to simultaneously apply a manual damping force. The handling tool may also feature an integrated flash light approximately tangential pointing towards the tool's gripping end. The flash light's housing is integrated in a bending stress communicating fashion while keeping the overall contour of the respective lever continuous.
